.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 150 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024

Thunderstorms continue erupting in the heat of the day
over/near the Bootheel. Anticipate this pulse storm chance
lingering into early evening, then diminishing with loss of
fuel. It`s mainly a heavy rain/lightning hazard, but stronger
cores might produce gusty winds/small hail.

A triple digit heat index, or close to it, is possible again
tmrw. Its chance is maybe not as good as today, with a little
more cloud coverage with slightly higher pops, but upper 90s
HI`s will be achieved nonetheless.

Daily (mainly diurnal) pops linger thru Tuesday on the return
feed side of the high, with plenty of heat/moisture to work
with. Drier air works the column over the back half of the
week, so when we lose pops and start to warm up again, humidity
is not as extreme and HI`s remain in the 90s.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1104 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024

Cloud cover will be on the increase tonight through tomorrow,
mainly mid to high cloud, but could be some cigs in the 4-5kft
range tomorrow. Scattered convection is expected to develop
during the afternoon on Monday, lingering into early evening.
Can`t rule out some patchy fog tonight in areas that received a
heavy downpour earlier today. Light S/SE winds tonight will
pick up out of the south on Monday and may become gusty by
afternoon around 15-20 kts.
